met at life's first dawn
     no preconditions at stake

     it can only be retrieved
     when a soul reaches sunset

Water Rushing Around

Water Rushing Around

Near shell saw water rushing around;
Lifted up so I could hear its sound;
Water weaved;
Shell retrieved;
Then left it lying on sandy ground.

Leaves Falling

Deleted emails retrieved
Text messages you wouldn’t show me
Phone calls when you thought I was asleep
     How could I NOT notice
     The leaves falling from the trees?

Premium Member Rising Sun At the Waters Edge

A rising sun at the waters’ edge 
Washes its’ warm rays over your body.
In a fairy tale of daydreams, thoughts are retrieved.
Is it possible you can open your heart to receive?

we fought over the frog poking stick
water snake sizzled past
brothers, supposed to be babysitting
stay off the dock mom had said
Gus, our golden,  retrieved her when she fell in

Premium Member Words Are Like Arrows

Words spoken in haste can’t be retrieved, so damage they’ve done can’t be relieved. Words that upset, you now regret, And apologies don’t help those aggrieved

Left Behind

how do I know
what to leave behind
what I'll no longer need
in this future of mine
what if what was left
is what I needed most
and it can't be retrieved
deleted, dispunged, destroyed

Throughout The Ancient World

Retrieved, can it be
And has it been
Each vestige of, scrolled and stoned
A goddess queen.

But not that enfleshed
Myth with a blush.
Men, a soft eve walked among;
Neath a palm lush.

Premium Member Thought For Today 3-27-2025

Some words we say are ill-conceived, and once spoken can’t be retrieved. If our words inflame, we should feel shame, and feel remorse toward those peeved.

Pain

Memories can be retrieved 
But the lost soul never  returns ....
Aching end of the journey 
By the loved ones 
Gives the pain of hell...
Even if the person 
Ends up the journey of life 
And moves to heaven.

Revelation

Being and becoming are creations
Of indispensable creative imaginations
No being is, yet as it is perceived
Needing to be seen to be retrieved
Infinite as nothing, fixed as numbers
Eternal insofar as one remembers

Premium Member Retrieved, the Tears

   Blocked out, the memories
     of what ruined our young lives

   Grievous errors of judgment made
     long-buried in archives
  
   Suddenly retrieved, along with our tears
     ~ over such trifles washed oceans of years

Pipedream

(Sapphic Stanza)

                  Imagined being contacted by strangers
           Imagined in grandeur that I was chosen
     Reasoning surely, I am, saver of Worlds
                 Imagined, being retrieved by female twins...

Always Home-CM

Perhaps, once unlocked, one finds
Apps are rooms behind the blinds
Wallpapers comfort the eyes
Echo-chambers respin lies

Flashed memories, not believed
More and more, you are alone
You're always home with your phone

Premium Member Todays Short Poem

Today’s Short Poem Miracle Man 6/12/2022 Into words, my innermost thoughts oft flow, while some are held hostage in word escrow. For words, once I’ve spoken, cant be retrieved, So I cautiously speak leaving no one peeved.

Safe Spot

go spot no spot stop
                      light is red now green I scream
                              dashing in and out
                      a clean sweep he lifts and bounce
                      tail wagging his ball retrieved

Dancing Done Diligently

Dancing Done Diligently

Well accepted and very inviting,
And pretty soon you will realize,
Does seem so easy to sumarize.

Dancing always will be a display
Of what we have heard people say
Your pain and agony are relieved;
God all of your sins has retrieved.

Water spilled, cannot be retrieved, but in Heaven the water of life.


Proverbs 23:5 Good News Translation
Your money can be gone in a flash, as if it had grown wings and flown away like an eagle.

Just a Natural Thing

You witness 
the starlight

Your thoughts 
drenched in 
the moonlight

Your words carry 
the sunlight

Language moves 
in the spotlight

Art sings
in the twilight

Your soul retrieved 
the daylight

Freedom dancing 
with expression
is just a natural thing

Premium Member Sent

“Sent”, the sign says
So it might be received 
Or missed in the haste
A day later retrieved
The next day forgotten
A week after saved
To be lost in the bottom
Under permanent waves
Was it some chord?
Or it could be a pause
Between the two chords
Who knows what it was…
